About this collection

The initial criteria for the selection of paper items for this collection was any correspondence, contracts or publications that may give insight to the creation, form and history of the Child of the Sun structures designed by Frank Lloyd Wright for the Florida Southern College campus. This includes correspondence between Florida Southern College and Frank Lloyd Wright and his associates which were deemed important enough for digitization and online viewing. Date span of items: 1937-present. The first items for this collection were pulled from various Florida Southern College archival collections in 2006. The process is ongoing. Though the initial criteria for this collection involved items that only concerned the Child of the Sun structures, the collection criteria has been changed to include any paper items that shed light on the history of Florida Southern College itself. As yet, these selections have not be made but will be added in the future.
